    Did Yul Brynner, or Telly Savalas look bad due to lack of hair? Methinks not. 

    Does anyone see that chap and think " wow, that's a fine head of hair" ? or do they just titter behind his back thinking " That aint foolin' nobody"

    Watched GW this afternoon. We had to skip past the lithops section as we couldn't keep our eyes off the wig.

    Why why why?????

     We said that but when he pulled a hair out, follicle as well to pollinate his lithops we thought maybe we were mistaken, the wig never moved.

    Anyone watched the George Michael documentary? Really moving. I'd seen a bit, but thought I'd sit and watch from the beginning.  Seeing him recording the Stevie song (They Won't Go When I Go ) ...jeez. You have to be that good to do it justice. It's a huge song. 

    I really should be painting before I collect daugter but....

    He wasn't wearing a wig, you could see that when he pulled out a hair, as Lyn said. I hadn't noticed his hair anyway as the lithops were fascinating and he was so inspired by them.

    Fairy, I usually use all the chicken I can. Usually make chicken noodle soup with little pieces of chopped fresh vegetables in it. If it's just for the 2 of us we have roast the first day then I make two different dishes for the next 2 days then soup.

    Enjoyed Lucy Worsley talking about opera. Carmen and La Bohème are my favourites.

    I love a bit of chicken and veg soup BL. I sometimes roast some veg and then blitz it and add the leftover bits of chicken, but I just added chopped carrot and onion to the stock this time. I like a roast squash with some spices, added to carrot and onion, to make soup too. Ideal for the current weather. 

    The flowers on those little plants were stunning weren't they? Who'd have thought? image 

    Haven't caught up with the Lucy W.prog yet, but it's recorded. 

    Better get to bed - up to take daughter to work first thing tomorrow, then see if there's anywhere not chucking it down, or shrouded in fog, for a much needed hillwalk.
